Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The pulls that trip me up — grabbing, anger, greed, dishonesty, tearing others down — gently free me from all of them.
Clear them out from inside me, and draw me in close to You.
Kaam krodh lobh jhooth nindaa in tay aap chhadaavahu — the verse names the familiar pulls (craving, anger, greed, falseness, running others down) and asks to be freed from them. Notice the posture: not "I will crush these by willpower," but aap chhadaavahu — You free me. And the goal is not just to be rid of faults but the tender aapan nikat bulaavhu — call me close. Getting free of what harms us and being drawn near are one movement.
Which of these pulls do you most want help with — and who could you ask?
